PROGRAMMABLE ENGINE HAVING A RECONFIGURABLE ACCELERATOR DATA PATH FOR TESTING AND CALIBRATION OF ANALOG FRONT ENDS IN RADIO DEVICES

摘要

Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a radio device comprises an analog front end comprising a radio to transmit and/or receive radio-frequency signals, and a programmable engine coupled to the analog front end. The programmable engine is capable of being programmed to perform one or more tests on the analog front end and includes a reconfigurable data path reconfigurable by the programmable engine to perform one or more tests on the analog front end.
